- Опубликовано: 29 май 2018
- The Australian bush is full of drugs, you just have to know where to look. We went foraging for naturally-occurring substances in Victoria’s Dandenong Ranges.

This guy has deff been eating these drugs, his face is priceless..
😂😂
could be the total opposite, a person that doesnt do drugs but sells them. a lot!
and btw, did you notice the statue of Phan? in sweden the word FAN(pronounced phan) means Satan!
@@jesuschristislordoflordsan427 and sells them ahahha jesus christ.
Jesus Christ is Lord of Lords and King of Kings yes i saw
of course he eats them (literally xD) man has giant san pedro's in his frontyard, they look tasty :D
Gods gift✊✊🏽✊🏿
Thank you Australian Willy Wonka for giving us a tour of your factory!
I buy psychedelics from @Chris_shroomstore1 on Instagram , he’s a legit plug and he’s got great shrooms,dmt,lsd,chocolate bars
🤣🤣
Thanks. The Australian government will ban the bush now.
They already tried about a decade ago - then it turned out the plants on out coat of arms were all psychoactive ... so they decided against it
BonesTheCat exactly
if the aussie military knew about it in the 70's it would be banned by now but no one cares cause the gov are all cocked cunts anyway
I thought the bush was banned at the end of the 80s?😂
@@sadfghjkllkjhgfdsfg didnt teach me that at school
This guy leads a wonderfully hallucinogenic life. 1. He has a continuous smile. 2. He almost giggles continuously as he is speaking 3. He totally rocks that leather Crocodile Dundee hat at a jaunty angle and 4. He loves these plants, these plants love him, they're very special plants! :)
This is shot beautifully
Oh yeah, because you're in Vice spectrum..
@@jakemate7583 he is a person and can be anywhere on youtube just like you.
Nah we just live in the best place on the globe,. same area codes :)
dude's so cooked
I like him
So cooked ay. Reckon he's tripping or rolling? I'd say tripping
Definitely micro-dosed psychedelics
Dude's cooked out of his tree 😏
Declan White nah dude he's intelligent as shit let's see you even on script give us that much info?? Thought so
"mdma butterflys" stoner camera women shouts happily
not sure i like your 'stoner camera woman' description... Stoner, implies something bad......
@@OldManPaxusYT not in my book
butterflies is issue
Can't you just grow them in your backyard and stop stomping in the forest.
@@OldManPaxusYT I buy psychedelics from @Chris_shroomstore1 on Instagram , he’s a legit plug and he’s got great shrooms,dmt,lsd,chocolate bars
"this is a useful source of DMT... and of course, the sheep still keep eating it." lmfao
legit rabai mdma butterflys and stoned sheep this Forrest seems cool
The sheep actually die from the dmt and their brains turn blue.
Not bullshit. Look it up. I love Deems
Drugs AreBad yeah but you don't have a sheeps stomach do you??? Obviously sheep don't have the same enzymes as we do or the same livers THAT'S WHY THEY ONLY TEST HUMAN DRUGS ON ANIMALS WITH SIMILAR MECHANISM OF DIGESTION/CONVERSION OF CHEMICAL IN LIVER/ENZYMES
RonPaul Revered DMT is non toxic. Whatyou are talking about is gramin a different substance found in these grases which is toxic to sheep but not humans.
I was waiting for hamilton to come out of the trees just tripping on shrooms
He was there you just couldn't see him.
Lmao 😂
maybe he took more than suitable for camera
🤣
The Australian was actually Hamilton, but fully transformed into his Australian alter ego.
There's something quirky about this guy that makes me like him, he just seems genuine I guess.
tjwoosta he is just a well educated cooker pretty rare most the time you just get cookers
He's tripping this entire video lmfao.
He knows things you do not. That is why your sub-conscious submits to his message. Don't get lost.
+Stav Miguel r/iamverysmart, keep trying bud.
Michael Bock (presenter) is a wonderful guy and SO clever!!!
Now I wish I paid more attention in chemistry class.
were holding super computers you have eveything we need just cant be looking on the surface of the web
@@mauiwowie8284 Shrooms got great benefits, I made an order from Chris_shroomstore1 on iG. my whole life feels new again. depression and anxiety got nothing on me.
Where I live people usually forage for drugs in the projects
😂😂
Lol
Pfff..u spilled my drinks
Yeah the great white rock tree is famous around here
Justin B Seriously that shit is hilariously.
I would love to trip out and have deep conversations with this guy. He seems cool.
wolf Larsen 😂😂
You on every documentary 😂
Me too 😌
Same especially on mushrooms
@@Trpmanne Shrooms got great benefits, I made an order from Chris_shroomstore1 on iG. my whole life feels new again. depression and anxiety got nothing on me.
It concerns me that as a born and bred Australian I didn't know our country was home to an array of plants and animals that can get you high comparable to South America.
I'm assuming our government has done a fairly good job of making sure the average Australian isn't aware of these things. Cheers for informing us 😂
relax everything is illegal here
lol none of the stuff in this video will get you high until you properly extract it and process it. More time and effort than what its worth (which is why nobody cares they are growing there)
We are an island that tries the most to keep drugs out so where do you think we get our drugs from. They are normally from here
I bet the care to cancer is in the Aussie bush.
And once you tried to extract it *then* it would be deemed illegal by the govt
Some of the faces he pulled once he'd finished talking make me think he's had a few too many of these natural drugs.
Ranny Dobinson spot on! Cunts fried as
I was thinking the same thing......he just had a blank stare....lol
Ranny Dobinson 3:20 is my fav
It's say it's probably the opposite of "blank".
He's probably smiling cuz of all the money he's gonna make
This guy never came down from an acid trip on sat 4 august 1978.
4 august 1978 was a Friday.
oddly specific
Fish and chips
This dude was that insane stoner in high school that also got a 4.0 😂
5:09 that glisten in his eyes, with the smiles, along with the scanning of the room is .. definitely me on LSD or mushrooms.
they say "dont do drugs" but look at this guy. he is happy AF and looks healthy.
Could do with a good eye cream!!!
I am the Lorax, I speak to the trees.
The trees speak in Aussie Stoner
man taking a hike through the woods with this guy must be the experience of a lifetime
I adore Michael for the research and passion he has on this particular topic.
Or at least that of the psychoactive realm.
You'll see me licking every tree on my street from here on out.
glassjaw624 😂😂😂😂
And why not its free😂😂
Vivione Oldehaver the why not is there are shit loads of disease that grow that way
Don't you mean 'every window'?
I love that guy but he's struggling not to outright show he's a psychonaut
oh I don't think he's trying too hard really lol
Cuz you would never be able to tell just from looking at the guy? Lmfao!
Most cooked man cave ever
"A high school degree in chemistry."
Clyde Densmore Why did you put this in quotation marks?
cus you don't get a degree from high school,, you get one from university,,so its funny cus it doesn't make sense,,get it?
This struck me as odd also; I'm fairly certain he meant 'did chemistry from years 10 -12'.
Depends on where u live. You get grades in both high school, senior high school and university in Sweden. U start getting grades from year 7. There is other countries outside of the US.
You dont even need a degree. Basic organic chemistry and passion is all it takes.
Thanks for capturing the scenery around here in a really artistic way, great video
Really cool video, Michael seems like an awesome guy
Back in the day I used to make MDA, you could order safrole oil in the make your own root beer kits. All plants are arguably psychoactive, as DMT is a building block of life. The interesting question is not what, but why do plants create psychoactive chemicals endogenously.
answer is simple,, for other animals to get high on,, why else? lol if our polititions and mil,itary leaders got stoned weekly and did lsd once a month,, I really don't see us having any more wars lol just like in in ali g when the UN gets stoned and declares world peace lol
to protect against pest species eating them, usually
Just Brilliant! Love this guy and his creative outpouring of awe driven knowledge!!! Always knew Australia was a wonderful, abundant and magical country!!! 😊✌🌿🌵🍄
I love the way he says it at 0:04 like he's so proud of it
What a legend, and for him to be local makes it even better. I'm going for a bush walk, peace.
Australia got everything!
FLING FLING except a democracy
Except you gorgeous 😁
except airsoft
Except guns!....:(
Xstreamaudio we got plenty of those
Dude looks like he’s about to break out laughing everytime he speaks 😂 I love it
Has no one else seriously noticed this guy is also definitely tripping while doing this interview loool??? His facial expressions, gaps to think between words, etcetcetc lool
nicolas serrao lmao, he can't stop grinning while he talks
@@orngfuzz LMAOOO i get that too
you know this man candy flips on the daily when hes done cooking up his molly and acid. look at that face bruh.
Love this! But shhh don’t tell the world our junkie secrets 😂
He seems to smile when he speaks as if he has some big secret that should be obvious and he’s just waiting to burst into laughter! 🤣
I didn’t know you guys visited here! That’s absolutely crazy haha, I stare at mount dandenong every day. Wild
I knew there was a reason why I love trees!
Harshil Patel I give your joke 4/10...
hey mate
Sup dude!
burn em
Harshil Patel you mean other than converting carbon dioxide and providing oxygen and keeping humans and every animal and life form alive? Lol. And also apart from weed/trees as well?
This man needs to reproduce. Someone has to take on his knowledge
Dandenong ranges so beautiful! Toot toot puffin Billie
I grew up in the dandenong ranges, beautiful place and great magic mushies too
I was mind blown years ago when I found out where mdma actually came from. Nature is a wonderful thing.
Would love to see him teach me all different types of mushrooms in the mushroom season
Proper champion. I love the Dandenong and Macedon Ranges for their wonderful offerings!
2 hour drive tomorrow to get there 4 months to get back . Victoria isn't going to be shitty this winter!!! Thank you VICE
4:19 my god...that flute solo
what's this type of music PLEASE I've been looking for so long
I gotta go out to the bush more 😂
Wow, that guy have a huge collection of interesting books. Would be really cool to get a full list of his whole collection.
Very intresting, thank you for your knowledge.
I love how they put episodes for no reason. Just to link in playlist lol. No closure, no follow through. Fucking content makers right here
He looks like he was on shrooms the whole time !
when I live a 15 minute drive from this forest, had no idea!
What an interesting character you are kind sir. Thank you for sharing your hard earned knowledge. Keep on keeping on. See you at Mardigrass I hope 😊
Lmao I live in the Dandenongs and it's the first I've heard, this is gonna be fun, seeing so many people go to the kokoda trail now....
I would appreciate when you would show us more of what the peoples in your documentaries talk about. And when i see that the documentary is just 7 minutes long i think, there is way more material that you can put into the documentary when you fly over to the australian jungle and talk to a guy who collects and grows psychoactive plants. But still thanks for this peace of work :)
Thanks mate for the doco, cheers from Queensland.
Fascinating...so much to learn about our natural environment
This definitely looks like the guy you'd find sniffing leaves in the bushes
this dude is Chopper reed,if he were a hippy.
Awesome doco needs to be longer!
what a precious guy
Whoever did the camerework, as well as the visual and sound editing, all deserve an oscar.
I’m Aussie and now i’m showing this to my mates, can’t wait for the next camping trip 😂
What the phuk is "Aussie" we just live here dickhead :)
@@no1headbandcharlie160 are you brain dead
Wish this was longer !! Very interesting
Wow! That Was An Eye Opener 4 Me!!!
“I have a love for these plants, I appreciate these plants, they are special plants” Wow this dude really likes plants...
and no cannabis in his garden ? or hidden i presume lol
wrong time of year he probably just harvested
I’m chasing some any in taz yoooooooo inneed meee some smokoooooo
The sheep keep eating the stagger grass. I almost choked to death from laughter (have worked with sheep, and I'm not surprised nor judge them for it)
@Kristi Ford now we know why they always look so stoned.
Tuning in from Titahi Bay massive info your a Legend chur
Blessings to you sir 😆
Thats why we call it the lucky country .
>starts to lick trees to get high
This guy is an absolute character :)
'There are a lot of mushrooms that need to be collected and made into... Meeals' biiig time smile
Holly shit!
I just learned from this video that the cactus my wife had me transplant 10 years ago is a San Pedro (Echinopsis pachanoi), i must have 40 or more of them now, all over 10 foot long each! I just liked the one we had but he was dying, so i transplanted his little new born branches (as many of them)...
And right next to them there is a huge Angel's trumpet plant (Scopolamine, Hyoscine). And i thought god had me far away from drugs!
Just make sure u stay away from the scoplamine. Thats one crazy ass substance that will guaranteed give u a bad time.
Mad Hatter
what a cool guy down to earth guy, great little video
5:32 the face he makes after reading the title, "Discovery of Mushrooms that Cause Strange Visions"
I want to be this guy's friend.
Hit the Acacia phlebophylla down your way ;-) Where I live near Byron, we have 3+ types of phenylpropanoid bearing plants (Olivers Sassafras etc.), an Ibogaine type alkaloid containing plant and a Hodgkinsonia species who’s Northern QLD brother is being studied for its opioid effect. Not to mention the two varieties of Tryptamine bearing fungi in the warmer season. There is so much out here to be learnt if the passion and know how is there... :-)
what's the species of the ibogaine type and the hodgkinsonia?
Hit the endangered plants? maybe go and collect seeds instead. there's plenty other tryptamine Acacias to work with that aren't threatened.
Super interesting! Amaaazing book collection! Can only imagine how cool the contents of the man cave are!
There are dozens of precursor chemicals and compounds to be found from both exotic and native plants, but synthesising these chems in to usable products is much much harder. You can also get safrol oil from camphor laurels, growing in most Australian cities but what are you going to do with it?
Now this has me wanting to go bush again to live a shaman life. Black Wattle branch tips are good source of DMT. But I know a spot where GTs are growing on a footpath during the season in a new outer suburb. Might have to dry some.
Brad Griffin learn to spell first
455 stage-1 What did he spell wrong?
Brad Griffin are you sure u can get DMT from black wattle i though it didn't have a high enough alk %
455 must be on drugs
Thomas, the amount you get isn't overly huge, no. If you harvested efficiently, you could make enough for an experience. There are other wattles that contain more. However, those grasses would produce way more (insert chosen drug here) in terms of weight. I learned a lot from this video, but it leaves enough out to inspire us to research more.
I live in Brazil, i wish i had the knowledge he has, i would be a king here. lmao
why is this only ~7min long?! THIS SHOULD BE 1hr! ♡
if we are not free to choose what we can and cannot put in our own bodies we cannot consider ourselves free in any way. amazing video vice
How could i go into this field of study because i feel like a modern day shaman as it is now
There are a few different fields of study within the umbrella of drug research. The study of the effects of drugs on the mind is psychopharmacology and the effect on the physical mechanisms of the brain is neuropsychopharmacology. Ethnobotony is the study of naturally occuring compounds found in plants traditionally used for medicinal and religious purposes.
More mushrooms. Heroic doses multiple times a week. Do what Terrence McKenna did. Finish his work, decode the Elves language!
start with finding out what the word shaman means
Try those tide pods I hear they will freshen up your mind
Join the mormon church :D
If you watch this without sound, it's about a bloke who's about 3 days deep in the sesh - currently in the adventurous phase, happily beaming.
Such a trippy dude,I like him a lot.
Bush Tucker Man's got his flattened akubra, this dude's got a top hat. Makes sense.
he looks so tweaked out lol
Anyone know any spots near Perth for shrooms? Just asking so I can avoid them
The First Dovahkiin Balingup is the magic mushroom capital of Australia!
Thankfully there are people like you on this planet and off it sometimes by the looks of it )))
I love this guy! I thought he was a David Mitchell character he looks so much like him!
Man in the Yellow Hat x Psychedelics
I was at a party out in the Australian bush for New Years 2000. I took an 1/8 of mushrooms like we usually do back home 😂. Good party but I’m quite sure reality doesn’t look like that at all😂. Be warned.
Fee_ Lo mate new years 2000 had the best tabs ever
Did you find the dog tree? ...that sort of looks like a dog, that one sort looks like a dog, that one definitely looks like a dog.
Love your work keep it up
